ASUS' mainline motherboard lineup based on the upcoming Intel Z170 chipset could retain the black + glossy white design scheme from the company's X99 mainline motherboard series. The company showed off its premium upper-mid segment Z170-Pro motherboard, which could be sold around the $170-$190 price range. This socket LGA1151 motherboard offers a 16-phase CPU VRM, a new high-capacity VRM heatsink design; and four DDR4 DIMM slots, supporting up to 64 GB of dual-channel DDR4-3000 memory.

It does indeed look like an X99 series board or rather the design scheme (colors) looks similar. At first glance I almost thought it was the Asus X99 motherboard I have. PCIe clearance over the heatsinks looks fine on this board.

You know, this board looks exactly like the Z97-Deluxe/USB 3.1 with new heatsinks attached. And by exactly, I mean I can't see a single different component or layout change from this Z97 Deluxe pic anywhere, except for the heatsinks and the Z170 text. Even the notch in the DIMM slots is exactly the same, and I know they moved the notch for DDR4. I wonder if ASUS ran out of time before the show and had to slap together a stand-in?
